Komekn and misinfo na synonyms. Which Senegal? Name those players in top five leagues. Nigeria has the most players and currently the most valuable football nation in Africa.
Let me reiterate so you will not allow your negative pre- conceived false notions to befuddle your thinking.

I said ,that Senegal has the most African players in the top 5 Leagues of Europe
.

Those league are as follows ;
EPL
La Liga
Bundisliga
Seria A
French league 1

You don't need statistics to know it's blatantly evident. There is a direct pathway from Senegal local football direct to French league one. This has resulted in a over representation of players from the African Francophone countries in the French league and by default the top five leagues in Europe.

I don't know if you have looked at the French national team lately. That should tell you all you need to know.

Quote recently I was in Portugal well about 6/7 weeks ago and watched a youth tournament for u14 players. PSG team was filled with Giants from Senegal and Mali at age 14 some were 6"3 .

The team was 85% African undiluted.

Nigerian origin players are a considerable number in the EPL and even our academirs. But not like the French African former colonies.

Nonetheless look out for Idowu in Chelsea looks like a real baller.

Finally go and look up the meaning of misinformation and disinformation. You need some re - education.

Just like that, we have forgotten about the 15 years old Nigerian player who made the Arsenal bench this season (what was his name?)
Arguments were flying around that he was better than this and that because he made the bench...
Ethan Nwaneri he will be 16 in March this year.

That's the issue. The English may have invented football but when it comes to tactics Europeans and south Americans practically re-invented football.
All the major innovations in football are not from the English.
Thr Brazilians with their brand of attacking football
The spanish tikit taka
the italian tactical formations etc
The English just invented football and added nothing more.
All the major tactics and innovations in football are not English
So why is the England team rated so high.

UEFA name Lesley Ugochukwu in Top 40 youngsters to storm Europe in New Year
Not a suprise to anyone.

I don't like talking about young footballers too much because there is a lot of hurdles to pass.

Many get mentioned and just don't get far quite often.

But there is still hope ,I was at an event with Adidas where the most promising players from 12 to 17 where getting endorsements.

They were from the top team in the North West of England. Not more than 20 and about 6 of them are of Nigeria origin.

But again I don't like talking about such players so early .

I was a blooded Manchester united fan from 1996. Supported them from the time of Eric Cantona. However, the club lost direction and I went for the promising future of Manchester City.

Below is a quote of one of my statements on this. I quoted an article I made on BBC dna football forum, although BBC unfairly took the website down. I was known then as Everestmindz.


thegoodjoehunt3:
I made this article in January 2010:


WE LA LOVE TEVEZ/ CITY.

Premier League Manchester United
by everestmindz (U9456077) 10 January 2010

SAFA is using this clearout/bailout to hide his tactical weakness. Yes I said this look at how he is clueless without Queiroz at his side and Bailout of the Glazers to buy 1 or 2 players to make it look like he has money to spend.

BROKE CLUB I AM NOW A MERCENARY. VIVA LA RESISTANCE. WE LA LOVE TEVEZ. Manchester City are not broke I am there now. Bye Bye.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/606/A61649698
*****
I was tired of the elitist mentality of Sir, Alex Ferguson. The way he treated Pique and Tevez. Imagine choosing Evans over Pique, Berbatov over Tevez.

I was a Man Utd fan since 1996. I decamped to Man City in 2010 because of Tevez and Mancini. By then, no Yaya, Silva, Dzeko, Kolarov, Aguero, Navas etc.

Just my love for Tevez and Mancini. It was sad seeing them fallout with each other.

WE ARE CITIZENS.

Because with money they brought the best coaches so as to learn from them and it is working. All the best coaches are now having a stint in the epl and even the academies take foreign coaches and then English coaches are learning from them.
I learnt some division 2 teams play tiki taka. Shows you guys learnt from foreign coach s.

The excerpt below elaborates on your point. It was after Steve Cooper's time with Segura of Barcelona that he went on to win the U17 World Cup with Foden, Sancho, and Hudson Odoi's group.

https://cdn.theathletic.com/app/uploads/2022/03/18162224/GettyImages-677156586-scaled.jpg
The Barcelona man who Steve Cooper learned from at Liverpool

Cooper's stint at Melwood also saw him work with Spaniard Pep Segura, who was technical manager at Liverpool's academy before he joined Barcelona.

He is clearly someone who rubbed off on Cooper.

"I was at Liverpool, this massive club, and worked with this brilliant guy," Cooper added. "You don’t get this job as Barcelona sporting director without being special.

"Within four weeks of working with Pep Segura I wasn’t just watching the ball, I was watching the game tactically. He allowed me to see things differently: the tactical game model, behaviour, values, formation, training methodology and the ethic you want the team to adhere to. He taught me to create a vision."

Yes they are. My Maroc Boys have what it takes but you see, it is always a different ball game when you play against Continental Brothers. grin

That said, yes, dem follow for contenders.

Also, if Nigeria gets things right in terms of selection and a workable formation which utilises our biggest weapon, then Nigeria should also be one to watch at the next Afcon. Trust me. wink


Other strong candidates: CIV, Senegal (African Champs) and ofcoz Cameroun. Egypt is another. Always a well drilled tournament team within the continent. In all, time will tell.

They are slick with it like that, their passes, chance creation etc
They’d win one of the next two Afcon tournament

Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by TheSuperNerd(m): 6:53pm On Jan 04, 2023
I have already mentioned the conditions to be met if Nigeria would indeed be a force at the next Afcon. If they aren't met, then surely it would be another horrendous experience for us.

Also, History has shown that it is not a given that Africa's Best WC Performer in a particular edition goes on to win the very next Afcon tournament.

Morocco in 1986. Cameroun in 1990. Nigeria in 1994. Nigeria in 1998. Senegal in 2002. Ghana in 2006. Ghana in 2010. Nigeria and Algeria in 2014.

All these Sides didn't win the Subsequent Afcon editions that came after each WC. The only true exception here though is Nigeria (1994) who were surely primed to dominate that period on the continent as seen by the Olympic Eagles' Performance at Atlanta 96.

Nigeria would most likely have won the Afcon in 96 if not for Abacha's move to stop the team from heading to SA. That got us a suspension from the next edition, BFA 1998.

So that Golden Generation that could have given us at least 2 Afcon titles Pre-2000s, only gave us one.



So yes, History is a good reference but in all, Time will tell it all as I have already said.

Read from owngoal that folarin balogun is open to switching to us and if it’s true I think egu and jpes should get him on board ASAP

He should take onuachu and dessers place in the current eagles set up and will be a worthy and younger understudy to osimhen and Moffi

Dessers and onuachu aren’t getting younger and both re yet to make a statement since they hv been getting called up. Also they won’t be making the next World Cup if the team qualifies.
